Eamon Gilmore (Dún Laoghaire, Labour)

Deputy Ó Cuív initially asked me three specific questions in respect of the measures being taken by the Government to deal with the jobs crisis. I am delighted that he was so satisfied with the specific answers I provided that he has entirely changed the topic of his supplementary question.

I have read the report on what happened to Galway Airport, which is a privately-owned airport and has its own relationship with the bank in question. It would not be appropriate for the Government to intervene in the relationship between a bank and an individual account holder.
